Does anyone know if Parks is open for discussion on the closure. I understand that the hanging draws are a eyesore and they are easily removed. Removing the bolts from the arch without causing any damage is pretty much impossible. With regards to the trails, who ever built them seemed to put a lot of thought into the process as the approach takes a line only over rock to avoid erosions that has hampered a lot of other crags in the mountains. It saddens me to see a area closed and saddens me even more that other climbers would support it. It would be good to see the area re-opened with a few basic rules such as no fixed gear, no fixed lines and a ban on further bolting in the area. I am happy to remove the draws and the fixed lines for parks if they wish me to do so.
